I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan - Chapter 740

Updated! Those readers who think that I will definitely be a pigeon and a leopard will cry, hurry up and give me a monthly pass or a reward to apologize!

********

********

(From now on, you are my closed disciple. Although you are my closed disciple, you must not expect you to have any special status in the Iga no Sato.)

……

(Lord Jijiu, I heard that you recently took Chuguang as your goddaughter, is this true?)

(Nonsense! Who are these rumors? Chuguang is just a girl with great potential. I saw her potential and accepted her as a closed disciple. My relationship with her is nothing more than that.)

……

(Don’t call me ‘Ji Ye’, it’s both ugly and disgusting. If you want to use this kind of affectionate name to get in touch with me, then I advise you to stop thinking about these crooked ways! Have you been swayed by some recent gossip? Are you misled? Hmph! Don’t think I’m more gentle with you, and really think I see you as my granddaughter!)

……

(Your water is so bad! As a ninja, how can you not swim! Stay in this lake to practice for me! When will you be able to swim from here to the other side of the lake, and when will you come up again!)

……

(Lord Yoshihisa! It’s not good! Hatsumi drowned while practicing snorkeling!)

(What?! Did you save the first light?!)

(I have already sent someone to jump into the lake to hunt for people! But I can’t find Chuguang’s seat… Ah! Lord Jijiu! What are you doing? The lake is very cold now! Please come up quickly!)

……

(Cough! Cough, cough! Hey! The first light! Wake up! Wake up!)

……

After a person is dying, what will they recall in their minds?

Maybe everyone will think of different things.

For Yoshijiu… when Hatsuki’s Wakizashi fell down, all that flashed in his mind were some memory fragments that made him not know what expression to face…

“… Over the years, I’ve worked hard for you to take care of me.”

Hearing Chu Guang’s words, Ji Jiu’s lips slowly pulled down.

She showed a… I don’t know whether to cry or laugh.

……

……

Ji Jiu’s head, which was cut off by the first light, rolled forward a few steps before slowly stopping.

Handfuls of steaming blood flowed out from Yoshijiu’s head and severed head, dyed A-cho and his feet with a pink liquid mixed with rain.

Ji Jiu, who was decapitated, did not move again, nor did he grow any more shreds to mend the broken head.

Looking at Yoshihisa who was finally dead, A-Machi, Asai and the others all showed expressions of relief—at this time, only Hatsumi had a complicated expression.

She lowered her eyes and quietly looked at Ji Jiu, who had been decapitated for a while, before she silently took off her coat and covered Ji Jiu’s body.

“Miss Hatsumitsu.” A-cho, who was bruised and bruised by Yoshijiu’s beating, now only feels pain and tiredness, but she still cheers herself up and pursues the second ship with Ogata and the others, but she doesn’t know why. Chuguang, who returned to the shore, asked the question she most wanted to know now:

“Ayi… What happened to Ogata and the others? How was the battle?”

“The situation of the battle…” Hearing the question posed by A-Ming, Hatsumi frowned slightly, “What should I say… Before I fainted, Ogata…”

She just said what she said—

Rumble rumble—! !

On the sea in the distance, a strong explosion suddenly erupted, interrupting Chu Guang’s words.

This sudden explosion made everyone on the shore change their expressions.

They hurriedly turned their heads to follow the sound—on the sea near the skyline, a flaming fireball suddenly appeared.

A-cho, who had the most outstanding eyesight among the people present, immediately saw that this “fireball” was nothing else, it was the Hikari Maru that was burning right now.

The fire on the Hikari Maru was extremely intense.

Even though they were separated by an extremely long distance, they made A-cho and the others’ pale faces flush red.

……

……

Time went back not long ago, when Toyotomi had just learned that Rin had escaped from the room and was going to arrest him——

Hikkimaru, on the open deck—

“…Master. Are you feeling better now?” Toyotomi asked Master Xianyuan, who was now leaning halfway on the railing of the ship and vomited from seasickness.

“Well… I’m a little used to the shaking of the deck now.” Venerable Xianyuan, who had recovered a lot from before, nodded, “So it’s much more comfortable now.”

“That’s it… that’s fine.” Toyotomi nodded, and after a moment of pause, he heard him say to the Master Xianyuan in a low voice, “Master, I now… there is a possibility that only you can do it. The task is to be entrusted to you.”

“Lord Toyotomi, please speak.” Listening to Toyotomi’s serious tone, Master Xianyuan quickly turned straight.

“Ogata Ichitosai and my uncle, neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp.” Toyotomi said leisurely, “Even if we have the opportunity to defeat them separately, it may not guarantee that we will win. .”

“So – I decided… to add insurance.”

Toyotomi’s tone and tone gradually became strange.

“Most of the firearms and ammunition of our Nikki Maru are stored in the No. 1 ammunition warehouse located in the center of the cabin.”

“If all the gunpowder stored in the No. A ammunition depot is detonated… it will not be a problem at all to blow up most of the Rihui Pills into the sky.”

“Therefore, I hope that you will be in charge of lurking in the No. A ammunition depot, and after receiving the signal, ignite the gunpowder in the No. A ammunition depot.”

As soon as Toyotomi’s voice fell, Venerable Xianyuan’s expression changed slightly.

Toyotomi noticed the change in Venerable Xianyuan’s expression, but he turned a blind eye and continued:

“The insurance I made is quite simple.”

“When my battle with Ogata Ichitosai, Kinoshita Genichi and the others were at a disadvantage and they were about to be defeated, I managed to lead them to the open deck of Hikarimaru.”

“At that time, I will definitely be in a fierce battle with Ogata Ichitosai and Kinoshita Genichi, and I may not be able to spare a hand to signal you slowly.”

“So I’m going to find another person to signal for me.”

“The signal is the sound of our special ‘tube fireworks’ made by Toyotomi. The sound emitted by our ‘tube fireworks’ is very special, you must not hear it wrong.”

“After receiving the signal, you will detonate the No. 1 ammunition depot.”

“If you’re lucky…you can turn defeat into victory in one breath, and blow Ogata Ichitosai, Kinoshita Genichi and the others directly into the sky.”

Toyotomi’s voice was very flat, and in a very calm tone, he told Master Xianyuan about the plan that made him sweat.

“…Master Toyotomi.” Master Xianyuan glanced around with vigilant eyes, “If your plan is implemented…I’m afraid that most of the people in the ship…will die without a burial… …”

“Furthermore, what you said about blowing Ogata Ichitosai and Kinoshita Genichi away… is only a situation that can only happen with good luck.”

“Maybe… Ogata Ichitozai and Kinoshita Genichi were not killed, but you were blown away…”

“Master.” Toyotomi smiled slightly at Master Xianyuan, “My plan, of course, will only be implemented when I have been completely suppressed by Ogata Ichitosai and the others, and I am about to lose.”

“Since you’re going to lose both horizontally and vertically, why not gamble to see who can survive the explosion?”

“As for the people in most of the ships you mentioned…”

The smile on Toyotomi’s face… slowly showed a bit of madness.

“If I die under the swords of Ogata Ichitosai and the others… Then what do the people on this ship do?”

Having said that, Toyotomi’s words changed and he raised his hand and patted the shoulder of Venerable Master Xianyuan.

“Master, this task… I don’t need to elaborate, you know what you will become after lighting the ammunition depot… right?”

“To be honest—I don’t really want to entrust this task to you.”

“But I can only entrust this task to the person I trust the most.”

“Can… please?”

Toyotomi didn’t tell Master Xianyuan too much truth or interest.

Because he knew—there was no need to talk too much with this old subordinate who had followed him for many years.

Just a “please?” is enough.

“…I see.” After a moment of silence, Master Xianyuan revealed a faint smile, “Just leave it to me.”

Venerable Xianyuan also did not make any impassioned declarations to Toyotomi.

He just said lightly, “Just leave it to me.”

“Lord Toyotomi, according to what you just said – you are planning to find someone to signal for you. Who are you planning to call?”

“Ah, this. I’ve already made a choice.” Toyotomi smiled slightly, “I found someone… I trust him, and at the same time have a great passion for killing Ogata Ichitosai.”

Toyotomi’s voice just fell—

“Lord Toyotomi!”

A young male voice sounded from behind Toyotomi – it was Hannya who received a treasured sword from Toyotomi just today because of his merit in “finding Ogata in Osaka”.

Holding Lin’s Yan Mo and Zhen Guishen, Prajna quickly ran to Toyotomi’s side.

“Lord Toyotomi, I have brought these two swords in the warehouse according to your order!”

……

……

Time goes back to the present–

Hannya, who was sitting on the observation deck on the main mast of Hikki Maru, was staring intently at all the actions of Toyotomi on the open deck.

After seeing Toyotomi take the initiative to raise his left hand to take Ogata’s stab, he raised his left palm with a big hole high.

Seeing Toyotomi’s action, the corners of Prajna’s brows jumped immediately.

(Hannya, listen carefully, the signal is “the pierced left palm”, after seeing me raise the pierced left palm high, you will sound the “tubular fireworks”)

“Lord Toyotomi…”

Prajna took a deep breath.

“I wish you… a prosperous martial arts!”

Chi-! !

Prajna raised the wooden barrel that he had been playing with in his hand just now, and pulled the lead at the sky.

……

……

Chi-! !

In the No. A ammunition depot, hearing the sharp sound of fireworks breaking into the air, Venerable Xianyuan pursed his lips.

“Still… do you want to use this plan…”

After hearing Venerable Xianyuan muttering in such a low voice, he pushed open the lid of a huge powder keg next to him, and picked up… an oil lamp next to him.

Just as he was about to put the oil lamp into the powder keg… Venerable Xianyuan squinted at Kikutaro, who was lying on his side at his feet, his body still warm.

“…As long as the lofty ideal of ‘widespreading the Buddhadharma’ still has a slight possibility of realization, I am willing to smash my bones to pieces for this ideal.”

He recited in a low voice what he had just said to Kikutaro.

Then I let go of the oil lamp in my hand…

……

……

……

……

“Well……”

Ogata felt like he was having a long and difficult nightmare.

The consciousness is chaotic, and there seems to be a wonderful cracking sound in the mind constantly, and even the existence of self is blurred.

Ogata felt like gravity had disappeared.

He felt as if he was floating in a place without gravity, and the images and sounds of the world around him were all distorted.

The only thing I can clearly feel at the moment… is the sound of my heartbeat and breathing.

The only clear sound of heartbeat and breathing was deafening in my mind.

He instinctively matched his heartbeat and breathing, and tried his best to lift his heavy eyelids.

With the gradual opening of the eyelids, the light leaked to Ogata’s eyes.

As his eyelids gradually opened, Ogata also felt that his senses were returning to his body.

The first to return to the body is the sense of touch.

The cold raindrops slapped on Ogata’s face and all the exposed skin. The cold touch made Ogata, who was still in a blurred consciousness, feel a lot more comfortable.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing that caught my eye was the thick dark clouds that separated the sky from the earth, and the majestic rain…

——I am… lying… on the ground…?

The second sense that returns to the body is hearing.

pat, pat…

“Uh ah ah ah ah ah ah-!”

“Ah ah ah ah ah!”

“Quick! Quickly jump into the sea!”

……

The sound of wood bursting, the screams of people… one after another.

Holding the question “What’s going on?” Ogata raised his head and looked around.

As soon as he glanced at his surroundings, the surrounding scene… made Ogata involuntarily froze as if he was in a drowsy drunken dream when he heard a loud bell ringing in his ear.

Fire, fire everywhere!

The raging flames flickered and flickered, and the sky-high flames dyed the magnificent sea red like clouds.

The fire was so big that it was impossible for the majestic rain to extinguish it in a short period of time.

In the surging waves, pieces of flames soared, trembled, burst, and turned into bright red flowers on this endless sea.

These red flowers ignited the rough sea and illuminated the hazy clouds. The fire was so bright that it made people feel that the sun was slightly inferior to it.

The mighty Hikari Maru… no longer exists.

This mighty battleship has now been broken into two pieces from the middle part. And Ogata is now on the open deck of the first half of the wreckage.

Both the first half of the wreckage and the second half of the wreckage have been eroded by the fire.

And the gourd pill, which collided with Rihui pill, was also implicated by the explosion, and the bow of the ship was wrapped in fire.

The crew members who accidentally got the flames on their bodies rolled on the ground in a frenzy. Fortunately, the crew members were not caught by the flames, and they kept howling in horror, jumping into the sea, and escaping.

Of course—there are quite a few people who have no chance to put out the flames on their bodies or jump into the sea to escape. These people have either turned into charred corpses, or become unrecognizable pieces…

Along with hearing, there is also the sense of smell.

The smell of burnt wood, the strange smell of roasted human body… All kinds of smells are mixed together, making people sick to smell.

The senses that finally returned to Ogata’s body… were pain.

Because he was shocked by the sight in front of him, Ogata didn’t realize until now that his body was in severe pain.

There were tearing pains from all parts.

The intestines seem to be twisted into a ball, and the stomach is turned over.

The limbs…especially the left arm hurt so much that Ogata, who had long been accustomed to injuries and pain, couldn’t help but change his expression.

He lowered his head and looked at his body – just as he glanced down, Xu Fang couldn’t help taking a deep breath.

His current body… is enough to be described as “horrible”…

From his chest to his belly, a piece of blood was blurred… It was like a cannonball exploded against his belly.

Of the four limbs, only the right arm was slightly injured, with only a few broken skins…

The other three limbs… I could hardly find a few intact pieces of meat that were not stained by blood…

Ogata hurriedly raised his hand and touched his head—his head didn’t suffer too many injuries, only a large hole was broken on the left forehead, and a large amount of blood flowed down this hole, dripping most of Ogata’s head. The face is full of blood.

Every wound is now growing “meat shreds”, repairing the wound.

Xuan Zheng also said: their “immortality” is not omnipotent.

Once you suffer too many or heavy injuries in a short period of time, the “immortal power” will also lose its effectiveness because it cannot be repaired.

The wounds on Ogata’s body are being repaired—but not very fast.

The chaotic brain has already woken up a lot at this time.

The memory fragments before the coma came pouring in like snowflakes.

After completely suppressing Toyotomi and winning was only a matter of time, Toyotomi suddenly stretched out his left palm to take Ogata’s stab…

The pierced left palm is raised high…

Sudden fireworks shot into the air…

As soon as the fireworks went up, the ship exploded violently…

The last fragment of memory before losing consciousness… I was smashed by fire waves and shock waves when I didn’t expect the explosion…

And when he was blown away by the fire wave and the shock wave, he saw that Toyotomi, who was standing directly opposite him at that time, was also blown away, and was blown away in the opposite direction to Ogata…

——Toyotomi!

Ogata, whose consciousness and memory had fully recovered, shrank his pupils, and quickly turned his eyes to look around, looking for Toyotomi’s figure and his own sword at the same time.

The explosion came so violently and suddenly, but even so, Ogata’s hands were still clenching his two swords.

Da Zizai and Da Shitian were still tightly held by Ogata in his left and right hands. Seeing that his sword was not blown away, Ogata could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

Before he lost consciousness, he clearly saw that Toyotomi was also blown away with him.

For Ogata… the sight he would most like to see right now is the corpse of Toyotomi who was killed by the bomb, and the last thing he wants to see… is that Toyotomi is still alive and well…

However… this may be the so-called “fear of what will come”.

When Ogata just turned his eyes around, looking for Toyotomi—

“Ha…Ogata Ichitosai, you’re here…hahaha…we’re not dead…”

A male voice that caused Ogata’s expression to change slightly uncontrollably came from Ogata’s side.

Ogata, whose face sank with a “swoosh”, followed the voice and slowly turned his head to look–

Toyotomi, who was holding Yoshimitsu Bone Food in his right hand, walked slowly towards Ogata with a slightly staggering pace, like a demon from hell.

The corners of his mouth were raised in an exaggerated arc, revealing a arrogant toothy smile.

His body, from head to toe, also had many wounds.

Like Ogata, he had a large wound on his forehead, and a lot of blood ran down the wound, dripping all over his face.

From the chest to the stomach, a piece of blood was blurred. Limbs also have more or less, more or less serious injuries.

But it’s obvious – Toyotomi’s injuries are lighter than Ogata’s, he can stand up and walk, and Ogata can only stand up now, which is the best proof.

At this time, Ogata realized that Toyotomi’s left hand was still holding a beautiful brocade box that he didn’t know what it contained.

This brocade box always felt familiar to Ogata, and after looking at it in detail, he remembered that before Rin was rescued by Mamiya and the others, and was under strict guard under the main mast, this was placed beside her. I don’t know what’s in the box.

“Although I know…you are a person with an abnormal mind…but I didn’t expect you to be so abnormal…!” Ogata’s eyes were so sharp that even the word “stare” seemed too much to describe. Weak, “The whole ship was blown up! In your eyes, are the subordinates on this ship just a bunch of people who can be abandoned at will?”

Ogata struggled and slowly stood up with his two knives in hand.

After Ogata stood up, Toyotomi stopped and stopped approaching.

The two of them confronted each other at a distance of less than 20 steps.

No matter how stupid Ogata was, he could guess that the sudden explosion of Hikarimaru was the work of Toyotomi!

He suddenly took his stab with his left palm, but he did it on purpose.

Ogata guessed: Toyotomi must have given his subordinates an order similar to “If you see him lift his left hand and pierce his left hand, detonate the ship”.

The purpose of this order is to use it to perish with Ogata and others when the battle is unfavorable, so as to prevent Ogata and others from winning…

If you are lucky, maybe you can only blow up Ogata and others, while Toyotomi survived by relying on the powerful vitality endowed by “the power of immortality”, and directly rely on “detonating the ship” to turn defeat into victory.

Ogata couldn’t help but feel fortunate now—fortunately, he had let Mamiya and the others evacuate here with Genichi and Rin, who were unable to fight, before the ship was detonated.

He estimated that when Toyotomi ordered the detonation of Hikari Maru, Mamiya and the others should have run far away, and it is unlikely that they would be affected by the explosion.

Toyotomi is a madman – Ogata knew this based on all the information he had previously known about Toyotomi.

He knew that Toyotomi was a madman… but he didn’t expect this man to be so mad…

Before the battle, he planned such a crazy move to pull the whole boat to death…

If possible, Ogata really wanted to rush over immediately, and quickly ended up with this madman who didn’t know if there were any other crazy tricks he didn’t use.

But the legs that haven’t fully recovered… let Ogata not say it’s flying, even walking is a little difficult…

While staring at Toyotomi in front of him, Ogata looked at the injuries all over his body, anxiously waiting for the injury…especially the recovery of the two legs.

“Abandon it at will…?” Toyotomi repeated the words Ogata just said in a low voice, then let out a low sneer, “Whatever you say.”

“Anyway, I just gave the order that I thought was the most appropriate based on the situation of the war.”

“Looking at the result–the order I just gave wasn’t very wise.”

The smile on Toyotomi’s face showed more and more madness.

“Although it didn’t kill you directly, it also made you seriously injured, Ogata Ichitosai, can you still swing the knife now?”

“You can come and try it for yourself.” Ogata condensed.

——Lungs…not injured…very good…

There was a foul-smelling air around, but it wasn’t so stinky that people couldn’t even breathe.

Ogata took a few deep breaths, and after confirming that his lungs were not injured and that he could absorb the surrounding air smoothly, he couldn’t help but feel a little bit calmer.

The lungs are not injured and can breathe normally, which means that Ogata can still use the “breath of the source” and enter the “no-self state”.

As long as he can still enter the “realm of no-self”, he can continue to suppress Toyotomi like a ship before it explodes.

The previous battles have made it clear that Toyotomi does not have the ability to compete with him entering the “realm of no-self”.

“Ha, can you still swing a sword…I think so too, after all, you also have the power of ‘immortality’.” Toyotomi laughed softly, his shoulders shaking lightly, “Ogata Ichitosai , you should have seen it too – the wreckage of the hull under our feet has been slowly sinking.”

Toyotomi lowered his eyes and glanced at the deck under his feet.

The hull that was blown into two pieces naturally lost the ability to float on the sea.

The waves kept lapping at the wreckage of Hikkimaru.

The sea bottom was as black as ink, like a monster’s **** mouth, bit by bit devoured the hull of Hikarimaru, which was broken into two pieces.

No need for Toyotomi to remind him, Ogata himself had clearly felt it just now—the wreck of the ship beneath his feet was slowly sinking.

According to Ogata’s guess—it only takes about 10 minutes…the wreckage they used to stand on will be completely sunk into the sea.

“It won’t be long before there will be nowhere for us to stand on this sea.” Toyotomi slowly raised his gaze from the deck beside his feet and stabbed Ogata.

He lifted his cheeks up again, and in his toothy smile, he found a bit hideous.

“Since there’s not much time, and you still have the ability to swing your sword… Then let’s start our battle again!”

slap!

Toyotomi grabbed the beautiful brocade box with five fingers on his left hand, and with a flick of his fingers, he opened the brocade box and took out the contents.

Looking at the things in the brocade box, Ogata’s eyes couldn’t help but suddenly widen.

What’s in the brocade box… is actually the head of a beautiful woman.

He closed his eyes, his face was peaceful, and he looked as if he was asleep.

After seeing this head, various information about the “immortal power” that Xuanzheng had told him before flashed through Ogata’s mind.

Although no one came to introduce and explain it to Ogata, based on the information he knew, Ogata quickly understood that this head is the head of the eight hundred bhikkhunis!

“Hahaha… Ogata Ichitosai, looking at your expression… You seem to have guessed whose head is the head in my hand.”

Toyotomi Pi Xiaorou did not smile.

“Ogata Ichitosai, I don’t know if you have ever thought about it – what will happen if you continue to eat the flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis when your body has already successfully digested the ‘power of immortality’?”

Toyotomi used an uncomfortable tone, and after a few low laughs, he then said to himself:

“I was very curious about this question.”

“So, I once made a certain test subject eat another piece of meat of eight hundred bhikkhunis after successfully digesting the ‘immortal power’ with Dinghao pills.”

“The final result is both unexpected and reasonable.”

“In the case that the ‘immortal power’ has already been successfully digested, eating the flesh and skin of eight hundred bhikkhunis can further enhance the ‘immortal power’ in the body.”

“It’s just—this will bring a great burden to the body. The second time swallowing the flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis will bring a burden to the body that will be far greater than the first time eating the flesh and skin of eight hundred bhikkhunis. ”

“And the third time to swallow the flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis, the burden on the body is even greater than the second time.”

Having said that, Toyotomi, whose face was full of madness, slowly raised the head of the eight hundred bhikkhunis that he was holding in his left hand to his lips.

“The reason I just said that the order to ‘detonate the hull’ is very wise, but it’s not just because it successfully blew you up.”

“It’s more because—the detonation of the hull gave me the time and opportunity to get the heads of the eight hundred bhikkhunis.”

As soon as Toyotomi’s voice fell, he opened his mouth wide, bit on the fair left skin of the eight hundred bhikkhunis, and pulled and pulled the large piece of flesh on the left cheek of the eight hundred bhikkhunis. In the mouth, the cheeks moved, and after chewing casually, it fell into the stomach.

Looking at Toyotomi who began to bite the flesh of the head of the eight hundred bhikkhunis, Ogata’s breathing slowed uncontrollably due to the shock.

As soon as he saw Toyotomi taking the heads of eight hundred bhikkhunis out of the brocade box, Ogata was already planning to rush forward because he vaguely realized what tricks Toyotomi seemed to be planning to use again. life.

But the legs were severely injured and had not fully recovered, even walking, but Ogata could only do this and watch Toyotomi devour the flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis.

Under the heavy rain, above the wreckage of the burning ship, a young man with a manic smile frantically gnawed at the head of a woman—it was a hellish scene.

After Toyotomi tore off and swallowed most of the face of the 800 bhikkhunis, he finally put the head of the 800 bhikkhunis from his lips.

Like throwing garbage, he threw the gnawed face back into the brocade box beside his feet.

When Ogata saw Toyotomi at this time, his appearance began to undergo a terrifying change.

Limbs, neck… In short, all the exposed skin of Toyotomi that Ogata could see had a lot of blue veins bursting out.

The whites of both eyes grow a lot of red blood, and the black eyes… faint purple light can be seen faintly.

Speaking of the biggest change…it’s naturally the speed of non-Toyotomi’s recovery now.

If it is said that the recovery speed of Toyotomi just now was 10, then the current recovery speed of Toyotomi is at least 30!

All the injuries on Toyotomi’s body were restored to their original state in an instant! The body returned to a state without any trauma!

“Okay…” Toyotomi turned towards Ogata, slowly raised his eyes with purple awns, and laughed wildly, “Let’s start! Let’s fight to the death!”

The voice fell a little, and Toyotomi rushed towards Ogata like a gust of wind!

Seeing the speed shown by Toyotomi at this time, Ogata’s pupils shrank, and then he immediately switched his breathing to “source of breath”, entering the “realm of no-self”.

Before and after dodging to Ogata’s heels, Toyotomi slashed at Ogata’s forehead, while Ogata slashed Oshiten in the direction of Yoshimitsu Gushi—

Clang——! !

This pair of swords between the two… can no longer be regarded as a “contest between swordsmen”.

Compared to the swordsman… it’s more like two monsters colliding and biting there!

click…

After the piercing sound of a knife piercing the eardrums fell, the sound of something shattering quietly sounded.

The swords of Ogata and Toyotomi… are broken.

No matter how powerful the two swords are, they are still only ordinary objects made of metal.

It can’t stand the tossing of monsters.

Where the sharp blades of the two met, a small gap appeared in both of them, and the cracking sound was their painful moan.

The huge force that came back along the blade turned into a strong numbness, spreading all over Ogata’s right arm.

Compared to before, Toyotomi’s power has jumped by an unknown amount. In this regard, Ogata’s expression… did not change in any way because of this – because before he had time to make a change, Toyotomi retracted his sword, and then struck Ogata again.

Not only the strength, but also the speed has been greatly improved.

The speed is so fast… that even Ogata, who has already entered the “realm of no-self”, can’t react.

Ogata’s legs haven’t recovered yet, so now Ogata can only choose to swing his sword to take Toyotomi’s slash.

Clang——! !

The two’s knives touched again, and then the two’s knives collided again to create a small gap…

Withdrawing the knife that split the sky and slashing it out again – Toyotomi just kept repeating this process.

In the face of Toyotomi’s slashing attack with both strange power and speed, Ogata used a reluctant and embarrassing move to defend.

The positions of the two were reversed.

Before the ship was detonated, it was Ogata who had the upper hand and suppressed Toyotomi.

And now…the two changed their form in attack and defense, and it became Toyotomi who had the upper hand, and Ogata passively parried Toyotomi’s attack.

If you stay for a long time, you will lose – Ogata, who is constantly defending Toyotomi’s attack, accidentally overlooks Toyotomi’s move…

scoff-!

The knife that was overlooked was cut **** Ogata’s left shoulder…

“Aha… I hit you!” Toyotomi grinned, retracted the sword, and attacked Ogata again.

——The realm of no-self… Can’t you resist…

Ogata, who didn’t even have the strength to check his left shoulder injury, gritted his teeth and tried his best to fend off Toyotomi’s slash.

Obviously – Toyotomi’s senses and reaction speed have also been greatly improved…

Ogata slashed at Toyotomi four times in a row, but Toyotomi flashed past with a leisurely movement like playing with a pet, then resumed his offensive and slashed at every key point of Ogata…

Clang——! ! clang–! ! clang–! ! clang–! !

The sound of gold and iron colliding, one after another on this boundless sea, still rang out in this sea of ​​fire.

Chi-la—Failed to fend off Toyotomi’s slash, Ogata’s left leg was shaved off a little bit…

Chi-la – Deceived by Toyotomi’s fake action, Ogata’s head was almost chopped off. Although he managed to escape in the end, he was slashed in the neck. Fortunately, the aorta at the neck was not injured…

Chi-la—I missed Toyotomi’s move, and the tip of Ogata’s left ear was cut off…

……

Toyotomi kept adding new wounds to Ogata’s body one after another.

The original wounds on Ogata’s body caused by the explosion were not fully recovered, and now they are constantly adding new wounds…

The “immortal power” in Ogata’s body…it’s probably in the true sense of being “overworked”.

Vaguely, Ogata felt that the speed of his injury recovery seemed to slow down further.

Under Toyotomi’s offensive, not only did Ogata’s injuries continue to increase, but the “injuries” of his two sabres also continued to increase.

The two knives he finally repaired are returning to their previous tattered state at a fast speed.

Ogata’s left arm is not like his right arm, the injury is small, and the injury of the left arm has not yet fully recovered. At the moment, Ogata mainly uses his right hand to fight against Toyotomi.

Looking around——Ogata’s Da Shitian’s blade has now been cut with more than ten gaps…

Of course, Toyotomi’s Jiguang bone food was not much better, and his sword also became pitted.

The two swords… almost every 3 times they touch each other, they both make a gap.

But even so – Toyotomi still unconcernedly, grinningly launched wave after wave of attacks at Ogata.

Clang——! !

Ogata struggled to raise his left and right arms, crossed Da Shitian and Da Zizai to the top, and blocked Toyotomi’s vertical split.

Feeling like Ogata who was carrying a mountain, his knees bent uncontrollably, and he was almost crushed to the ground by the “mountain”.

This time, Toyotomi did not quickly withdraw his sword and strike at Ogata again as he did before.

Instead, he quickly pivoted his left foot, turned his body, and hit Ogata’s chest with a roundabout kick.

Toyotomi’s “turning a slash into a kick” came so quickly that Ogata instantly made the judgment that it was “too late to defend”.

But fortunately——Ogata’s legs have recovered a lot now.

Although he hasn’t fully recovered yet, he can make Ogata jump and walk normally.

I saw Ogata stomping on the ground with both feet and jumping back, trying to avoid Toyotomi’s kick.

Ogata tried his best to jump back as fast as he could, but Toyotomi’s foot came faster…

Bang!

The moment Toyotomi’s heel kicked Ogata’s chest, he immediately made a dull sound.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Fang flew backwards and backwards like a ball that was kicked out, breaking through the layers of rain, and slammed into the ship’s railing not far away, knocking out some cracks on the railing.

“Cough…cough…!” Ogata felt like there was a turbulent flow in his chest, so he couldn’t help opening his mouth and coughing hard.

Although Ogata’s retreat just now could not completely escape Toyotomi’s kick, it still had some effect—it didn’t let Toyotomi’s heel kick **** his chest.

Although he was directly kicked away, the injuries he suffered were not too serious. Ogata felt that his chest only had some fractures at most.

“Cough…cough…cough…” Ogata hunched over and coughed violently for a while before feeling that the “turbulent flow” in his chest slowly subsided.

And when Ogata had just stopped coughing—

slap…

The sound of something falling sounded.

It was a small black thing that fell out of Ogata’s arms.

Ogata glanced at it—it was a small medicine box…

Looking at this… as if he had his own consciousness, a medicine box that fell out of his own, Ogata’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Take a serious look – it can be seen that at this moment, a touch of complicated emotions flashes in Ogata’s eyes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa…!

The rain became heavier again.

Boom! Boom–!

The thunder seemed to want to match the increasing rain, making a louder and louder roar.

Feeling the cold touch of the raindrops hitting his skin, Ogata raised his head, opened his mouth slightly, let the rain drip into his mouth, and swallowed it in one breath.

The cool rain fell down the esophagus into Ogata’s belly. Under the stimulation of the rain, Ogata felt that his consciousness became slightly clearer.

The unhurried footsteps approached Ogata little by little, along with the sound of the rain falling on the jade plate.

Whirring whirring–!

Not only did the rain and thunder become stronger, but the wind also became stronger.

Strong winds blew the two people on the deck, blowing the feather weaving on the two people’s body, which had soaked up the rain and were embroidered with “Panthium flower” and “Tiger leaves”.

“…Heh, the ‘bellflower’ on your Haori… The more I look at it, the more I feel mixed feelings.” Looking at the bellflower fluttering on Ogata’s body, Toyotomi’s frantic smile slowly disappeared, “Xu Fang Yidaozhai, you should know about the ‘Tianwangshan battle’ between the Toyotomi clan and the Zhizhi clan?”

“Two hundred years ago, Mitsuhide Akechi, who killed his lord, and his former colleague, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, started a decisive battle under the Tianwang Mountain to determine the ownership of the world.”

“And Mitsuhide Akechi’s family crest is exactly the ‘Biankyonghua’.”

“This decisive battle between ‘Flower’ and ‘Ye’ will ultimately end with the overall victory of ‘Ye’.”

“This unprecedented decisive battle… established the hegemony of ‘Taige Tongye’.”

Toyotomi’s shoulders were shaking, and he let out a strange laugh.

“Two hundred years ago, ‘Platoon Flower’ stood in the way of ‘Taiko Tong Ye”s dominance.”

“And now – when ‘Taige Tongye’ decided to start a new career, the ‘Platoon Flower’ appeared again, and once again obstructed the front of ‘Taiko Tongye’.”

“Should it be said that it is God’s will? Or should it be said that it is fate?”

“…Ogata Ichitosai.” Toyotomi, who was dragging his sword towards Ogata, lost his expression little by little, and finally – looked down at Ogata who was still sitting on the ground with a blank expression, “There is still a way to swing the sword. ?”

“…This, I won’t bother you anymore.” Ogata, sitting on the deck, leaning on the railing behind him, with his head down, said calmly.

“That’s good!” A terrifying smile full of madness flew up to Toyotomi’s cheeks again, “I’ve tried my best to defeat you. If you can’t wield your sword so quickly, then It’s so frustrating!”

The voice fell a little, and he saw Toyotomi press down on the center of his body, like a flying swallow gliding close to the ground, pounced on Ogata again.

Ogata swung his left hand – grabbed a large piece of the hull by his side and threw it at Toyotomi, who was charging at him.

On the current deck, the most notable thing is hull fragments of various sizes.

This kind of playful “hidden weapon attack” is obviously impossible to play an important role in Toyotomi, who is now like a ghost.

Toyotomi only slashed forward and smashed the hull fragment that Ogata threw into countless pieces, even making Toyotomi’s footsteps sluggish.

But——although he couldn’t stop Toyotomi’s footsteps, he blocked Toyotomi’s sight for a moment.

So…that’s enough!

Breaking open the “hidden weapon” thrown by Ogata, Toyotomi killed Ogata without hindrance, and the blade of Yoshimitsu Gushu broke through the rain curtain from the top and fell towards Ogata’s forehead!

Ogata, who had been drooping his head all the time, suddenly raised his head suddenly, and lifted the two knives in his hands upwards——

Clang——! !

“Huh?” Toyotomi frowned and looked at Ogata in front of him in surprise.

The power that came back along the blade’s body… became stronger – Toyotomi clearly felt this way.

click…

At this moment, Toyotomi heard the sound of something falling—a medicine box.

A medicine box that had been opened and was empty inside fell from Ogata’s body to the ground.

“…You said–‘You even fought your life’?”

Ogata slowly raised his eyes, crossed the swords they were standing together, and looked at Toyotomi.

At this time, Toyotomi saw that Ogata’s appearance had gradually changed.

The blush slowly appeared on the skin, and the color of the blush continued to deepen, and finally turned into a dark red.

“It’s not just you who can put your life on the line…”

Ogata’s arms slammed violently!

Toyotomi, who felt like a huge wave hit him, was pushed back and stumbled 2 steps.

And the moment he pushed Toyotomi away, Ogata took a deep breath—

scoff!

Dazai’s blade slashed towards Toyotomi’s face from bottom to top!

When Toyotomi saw this, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly leaned back.

Toyotomi, who leaned back in time, managed to avoid his face being chopped off, and only let the blade of Dazai pass over his chest and cut a not shallow or deep wound.

The blood dripping from the wound on Toyotomi’s chest, under inertia, followed the blade of Da Zizai and splashed into the air.

These blood flowers… just splashed for a moment.

The wound on Toyotomi’s chest was quickly repaired because Da Zizai’s blade had just passed by.

It’s like slashing the surface of the water with a knife – the blade cuts through the water in one second, and it closes again after a second.

Toyotomi did several backflips in a row, widening the distance from Ogata in one breath.

I saw that he first looked at Ogata with surprised eyes… Then he let out a loud laugh.

“‘Yaksha Situation’…”

Toyotomi, who spent several years and painstakingly making arrangements in order to get Shiranui into his pocket, naturally recognized the “Yaksha Realm” that Balrog had painstakingly researched to counter the “Selfless Realm” of Genichi.

“Ogata Ichitosai, when you attacked Shiranui, did you take away one of this Balrog’s hard work?”

“Where did my Yasha Pill come from – you don’t need to know, and I don’t want to waste time explaining it to you slowly.” Ogata put his knives on the ground and stood up slowly.

If it is said that Toyotomi’s current appearance is “like a ghost”, then Ogata at this time is not much inferior to him.

The skin of his body turned dark red when he entered the “Yaksha state”, and a steam-like gas wafted out. With this posture of standing slowly with a knife, he was really like an Asura from hell.

“Hmm…” As soon as he stood up, Ogata’s brows filled with pain, and his eyes closed involuntarily.

Looking at Ogata who was entering the “Yaksha state” at the same time, but also continued to maintain the breathing rhythm of “Gen’s Breath”, Toyotomi’s face… No negative emotions such as annoyance and disgust appeared.

On his face… only a strange look of joy appeared slowly.

“Ogata Ichitosai, I didn’t expect you to have such a killer move.”

“But—is this all right?”

“As far as I know, the ‘Yaksha Situation’ will bring a great burden to the user’s body.”

“And your breathing technique that can be used to enhance one’s own strength… it’s impossible to use it without any cost.”

“Using your breathing method and Yasha pill at the same time…Aren’t you worried that even after successfully defeating me, you will leave irreversible damage to your body?”

Ogata’s breathing at this time was quite heavy.

“Hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…”

I saw Ogata, who was breathing disorderly, slowly opening his eyes that were closed due to the pain just now.

“The future… I don’t care!”

Boom—!

Thunder flashes, lightning bursts.

The thunder light that shattered above the two of them illuminated the frantic smile on Toyotomi’s face, as well as Ogata’s eyes that seemed to have flames burning inside.

“Ha, hahahahaha… It seems that there is no need to say more.”

“Very good! That’s how it should be!”

“You and I have done everything and tried every possible trick… Only in this way can we have the momentum of the second decisive battle between ‘Flower’ and ‘Ye’!”

“Okay, then… let’s fight to the death!”

The frantic smile on his face had hardly disappeared, Toyotomi raised his left hand and grabbed the fabric on Haori’s right shoulder—

Hiss!

Toyotomi tore off the Yuori embroidered with the family crest of “Taiko Tong Ye”, and threw it towards the heavy rain and the thundering clouds!

“The ninth generation owner of the Toyotomi family~www.mtlnovel.com~Nobuhide Toyotomi!”

Ogata saw it, and raised his left hand, his thumb and index finger were still clenched at ease, and the other three fingers hooked on his body were also tattered, but the embroidered thing was “Platoon Flower”. Feather weave of the family crest.

Pulling, pulling, and tossing—the “Panthium flower” also flew toward the sky with the gust of wind!

Whoa, whoa, whoa-!

The rain was suddenly violent, and the thunder in the clouds began to be violent!

The silver-white thunder light illuminated the faces of the two of them, and at the same time illuminated the “Platoon Flower” and “Taiko Tong Ye” flying in the wind and fluttering in the distance!

“Ronin.”

“Ogata Yasushi!”

The next moment, the sword roared for the men!

The two rushed towards each other, and the swords that ripped through the rain curtain collided in the air to form a piece! Let out a sharp clang!

The shining sword light seems to be about to cut through the sky where the black clouds overwhelm the city!

On the sea surface is raging fire, and below the sea surface is surging sea water.

Fire and water.

Flames and waves.

Platycodon flower and Taiko tung leaves.

Light and dark!
